Christian Youth in Action - Week 2

Hello from Naomi! I hope you all have had as great of a week as we did! For the second week of CYIA, we stayed at different people's homes in Grand Forks (Hosanna and I got to stay with the same couple I've stayed with for several years - it almost feels like home....) and met at a church during the day. Sometimes we went outside on breaks - this is Silas and Roger.

This picture is Isaac talking about Camp Good News at the "graduation" - but more about that later. Every morning after devotions, chapel, and learning missionary stories, each group (we were split into four groups - I was with Silas and Reuben, and Isaac, Hosanna, Jonathan, and Tim were together) got everything ready to teach a 5-day-club, then went through it at the church without any kids - it feels kind of strange at first, but when the real club comes, everyone's glad they had the practice! Hosanna looking over her lesson for club. After lunch, each group went and taught a real club, then afterwards, one of the Berntsons or the oldest person in each group talked it over and what could be improved on. We had one girl get saved in our club, so that was really exciting! After some more study and another class - everyone goes "home" for supper and is supposed to get things ready for the next day. Last night they had a graduation/commissioning program - each of the CYIAers do something that we do in club - some lead songs, Hosanna showed how we teach a verse, and I gave a short testimony of things I've learned through CYIA over the years. We got home after midnight and we look forward to sharing with you more about the work in weeks to come!

I Corinthians 15:3,4 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures."

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life."The most important decision anyone can make is to trust in Jesus for everlasting life. If you have never done that, and you desire to do so, you can pray something like, God, thank you for loving me so much that You sent Your only Son to takethe punishment for my sin. I turn from my sins andinvite You into my life. Fill me with Your love and help me tolive for You. Amen. Praying a prayer isn't what saves you. You need to believe in your heart what God has done for you in sending his Son to die on the cross. I hope you make that decision today.
